Out of curiosity, wasn't there a thread like this a long time ago? Something about underrated or overlooked games?
...I ask of the guy who made the thread and didn't even bother to actually participate...

Anyone remember Sword of Vermilion? I was totally addicted to that game when I was a wee lad.

I just got around to beating that game last month. Picked it up for around $5-$7 because Yu Suzuki designed it. It wooped my ass until I got to around level 5 when I could take a hit. I enjoyed 100%ing that game.

I just remember that the level select cheat code forced you to plug the controller into the Player 2 slot, which I thought was fucking weird. Then, several years later, I played Metal Gear Solid and no longer thought it was weird.
